This is a white wine that I have never had the experience of trying before. I'm used to those whites that are refreshing on a hot summers day, light and floral.When the summer comes to a close usually my desire for white wine does too, but what an incredibly pleasant surprise.Attempting to remain open minded and wanting to honor my pork tenderloin I reached for Louis Latour. I admit to being confused at first , not sweet like a pear, not acidic like an apple.....I got it! It had that sweet ,earthy, yet mineral energy of a gooseberry. It took a few more swooshes in the mouth before my smile grew...true to its name...Alpes!The crispness in the air as the seasons changed, I had found my perfect white to welcome the onset of fall!Bottoms up!Tipsyceliacdiva.com
